After my last s754 Gigabyte (Nforce3 250GB) motherboard died I was reluctant on going back to gigabyte. But the dealer gave me a good deal on Gigabyte's NF4U-Sli so I bit and bought it...
Got a 3500+ Clawhammer s939 (very rare!!) 130nm *2.2ghz stock*
Zalman CNPS 7700 Al-Cu
4 x 512 mb Kingmax Hardcore DDR500
2 x Gainward GS 7800GTX in SLI (470/1300mhz stock)
This board overclocks without a problem!
Just got this setup yesterday and currently running the following
HTT 240 x 4 = 960Mhz *1920mhz total*
Memmory in dual channel mode, 1:1 at 480mhz
11x multiplier x 240 = 2640mhz (pr4000+)
No problems after several hours of testing.
I am testing with
CAS3 / 5 / 5 / 10 as a starting point until I reach MAX OC speeds, 2T timing, after that I will find the compromise between Speed and Mem. Timings. Still a long way to go!!
System is housed in a Chieftec DX Dragon tower,
Powered by Coolermaster 550W (Continuous / 650W Peak) ALCY PSU
Only 1 120mm exaust fan at the back.
Apart from a crappy 80GB SataII Hitachi which is loud when reading/seaking the system is INAUDIBLE! Almost silent.
I'm very satisfied with this setup. Props to Gbyte and Nvidia for the 4th revision of their NForce chipset, Props to Gainward for awesome GTX cards and Props to AMD for awesome CPU.
